A CAMPAIGN set up in memory of a schoolboy who lost his life on a bus journey home will put politicians on the spot next week.

Stuart's Campaign, launched to raise issues of bus safety after 12-year-old Stuart Cunningham Jones died in December, will hold a question time in Ystradowen village, where the accident happened.

Representatives of the four main parties contending the Vale of Glamorgan Assembly seat will attend the meeting.

Spokespeople for the campaign David Cunningham Jones and Sue Zaslona said, "We launched our campaign at this time so that we could raise the issue of school bus safety in the Assembly elections.

"We are delighted that our local candidates have given priority to this meeting and are prepared to come to find out why we are so concerned.

"We believe this event will influence the choice that voters make in the Vale of Glamorgan in May and we hope the issue will be raised in other areas in Wales as a result.

"The National Assembly is keen to promote the idea that it is making a difference for people in Wales. This is an area where it could develop `Made in Wales' policies to make children safer on school buses.

"We know we have public support for our campaign. We hope our candidates will listen and that one of them will support our push for action in the Assembly after the elections."

Sitting Labour AM Jane Hutt, Conservative AM David Melding, Lib-Dem Nilmini De Silva and the Green Party's John Matthews will be at the meeting at Ystradowen Village Hall at 8pm on Monday.
